Butter-Making, Then and Now.

No branch of rural industry has
met with greater change in its pro-
cesses during the last twenty years
than butter-making. Then the milk
was set in shallow pans upon pantry
shelves in the cellar, or in rare cases
in properly constructed milk-house.
The dash churn was almost unver-
sally in use, even when dog power
was employed. The process of churn.
ing was continued until the butter
was gathered" in a mass, which
was then lifted from the churn to a
huge wooden bowl, and the subse-
quent working and sailing were la
borious and damaging to the texture
of the product. The introduction of
improved creamers and improved
churns has changed all that. By
means of the former, the milk is set
in deep cans, cut off from all contact
with outside atmosphere and any
possible odors.or impurities. In the
modern churns the butter is separat-
ell from the other constituents of the
cream without breaking the globules,
and the process is arrested while it is
in the granular stage. The butter
milk is easily drawn off, and most of
the subsequent working and sailing
are done in the churn. 1t is easier
and cheaper to make uniformly good
butter by the modern process than it
was to make tolerable butter by the
old and unscientiflc methods.-Amaer-

Hurrah for the citizens of Cherry
tree Meadows, who have worked so
faithfully against Mormonism, and
have succeeded at last in getting rid
of the ringIeaders of one of the most
troubsome doctrines that has ever
been preached in this country. The
Mormon Elders have gone and will
probably never return. They had
better not, or we will fulfill the
promise we have made to them.
DIR. E. H. Glotfelty passed through
this neigh borhood last Friday on his
way to see VIM. g. Cunningham, who
is dangerously ill at present.
A report was received here from
Kansas last week announcing the
death of Ida B., daughter of Benja.
min Felix, formerly of Garrett Co.
A report from Frostburg states
that George Engle was killed in a
coal mine one night last week.
Mr.. Peter Bidinger, residing four
miles east of here on the east side of
Meadow Mountain, was robbed of
800 in cash at his residence, by I'M
known parties.
Last Friday Silas G. Beechy drove
100 head of cattle on Meadow Noun
tain to shift for themselves until next
fall.
Mr.. Jacob Felix will have a log
rolling soon.
Our Sunday School is booming and
is being conducted better and we
have larger attendance than ever
before at this place.
We think it would be fair to give
Cherrytree Meadows chance to
furnish County Commissioner next
fall. We have several good men here
who could fill the Office accepta)ly.

Words of Wisdom.

1t is strange desire to seek pow
er over others, and lose power oyer a
mans self.
Bashfulness has as little in COM
mon with modesty as impudence has
with courage,
Anxiety is the poison of life, the
sure destroyer of health parent of
many sins, and of more miseries.
Our healing is not in the storm or
in the wnirlwind, it is not in monar-
chies, or aristocracies, or democracies,
but will be the still, small voice, that
speaks to the conscience and the
heart, prompting US to a wider and
wiser humanity.
Make thy recreation servant TO thy
business, lest thou become a slave to
thy recreation. When thou goest
up into the mountain, leave this SER
want in the valley when thou goest
to the city, leave him in the suburbs,
and remember the servant must not
be greater than the master.

Died..

Elizabeth A.. wife of VIM. New
man, was born Jan. S0th, 1862, and
departed this life May Goth, 1887,
aged Is years, months and 20 days.
Her early life was amid the shadows,
and yet they seemed only to develop
the noble characteristics of her ma
ture, insomuch that the sweetness of
her life seemed to throw joy'and sun
shine into the lives of those with
whom she associated. Hence one
only knew her but to love and re-
spect her. She was married TO VIM.
New man Sept. Goth, 1885. She was
converted and Joined the M. E.
Church in early life, and continued a
faithful member of the Young Peo-
pies Glass until sickness prevented
her attending. But when the Mes
senger Death came, he found her
ready to 90, and although life was
sweet to her, and her devotion to her
husband and friends great, yet she
calmly took her leave of them all and
sweetly fell asleep in Jesus. She
leaves husband, mother, two broth
ers and one sister to mourn her loss /;
but doubtless their loss is her eternal
gain, May those left behind so live
that they may be able to meet her
where parting will be no more.

Senator Plat. chairman of the SEN
ate committee which has been inves
tigating complaints with regard to
removals and appointments of In
dian traders, says that the evidence
shows that the traders recently re.
removed were removed simply
because they were Republicans,
and that their successors were APP
pointed because they were personal
and political friends of people now
high in authority. He says the sum-
mary removals have cost many of the
traders their entire fortunes. Sena.
tor Platt relates the particulars of a
visit to the Usage Indians, and of
witnessing the celebration of a relig-
iOus festival, which was characterized
by all the old barbarous and savage
practices and customs. These In
dams have enjoyed government pro-
lection and care for a score of years,
and the best efforts of American
philanthropy have been directed to
their civilization, but they have
made no appreciable advance beyond
the state of their savage ancestors,
Especially prominent among those
who took part in the war dance were
two graduates of the Carlisle Indian
School, who appear to have relapsed
into complete savagery.

Buried in a sixty-Ton Gun.

1t is long since the newspapers recorded
any accident so horrible as the death of
the English moulder who was over
whelmed by a cataclysm of boiling steel;
and it is not often that so strange a cere-
mony as his burial is described in black
and white The fact is, the poor fellow is
now part of a sixty-ton gun, in which
form he will continue to serve his
country. Yet, oddly enough, he has been
buried; for some ashes and fragments Of
clothing were collected from the ingot
and shoveled into the coffin, which was
followed to the grave by what is called
an imposing cortege. This solemn put
consolatory farce calls to mind another
case somewhat similar. which forms one

Nicknames for German Regiments.

To take the collective list first, thu
guards are designated "Hammel," or
sheep. The cavalry christen the infantry,
as a body by the alternative names oil
sand hares," "sand-carriers,S and "clod
hoppers" The infantry invariably speak
of the cavalry as "groOms." The guards
call soldiers of the line "f1eld-rats." The
cuirassiers are known as flour sacks" the
hussars as "pack-threads," the artillery as
"cow-soIdiers," and the pioneers as
"moles." Coming to separate corps in the
guard, the first regiment of foot are called
tin heads" because of the color of their
helmet; the First grenadiers are the "po-
tato peelers" the chasseurs are green
frogs" and the huZZarS are "glOW-worms, "
the uniform of-the first being green, and
that of the second scarlet. The Third
uhlans are "duSties," because of the dull
yellow of the facings on their tunics and
the pioneers are "earth-WOrms." In the
infantry of the line the men Of the Eighth
are "cracknel guard" an allusion to the
yellow knot of their epauletS, and those OF
the Twenty are the "botchers,
because they are said to patch their uni
forms almost as long as they will hold to-
gether In the cavalry the Seventh CUR
assiers are the "whitesmiths;" the First
huzzars are deaths heads" (their shake
bears this emblem); the Fourth huzzars
are the cartridges" so called on account
of their brown uniforms. - Brooklyn
